AMES, Iowa -- It was hardly a coincidence that Iowa State senior point guard Monte Morris had one his most complete games Sunday.Morris notched the fifth triple-double in school history and No. 20 Iowa State throttled The Citadel 130-63, setting a program record for points in a game.Morris had 17 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and zero turnovers for Iowa State (3-0), which shot 60.5 percent from the floor. The Cyclones held the Bulldogs (2-2) -- who entered play averaging a national-best 112.2 points a game -- to just 22 in the first half.Iowa State raced ahead 18-3 and pushed its lead to 32 after just 14 minutes. Iowa State cracked 100 with 11 minutes left, and coach Steve Prohm was able to pull Morris from the game with 7:46 left to a standing ovation.I think it started on the defensive end, and my guys made shots. I just got the ball to them, said Morris, who grabbed all 10 of his rebounds on defense.Naz Mitrou-Long tied a career-high with 26 points and Matt Thomas had 18 for the Cyclones, who are beating their opponents by an average of 42 points.Iowa States previous record for points in a game came in 1978, when it beat Northeastern Illinois 129-69.No disrespect to the past three teams weve played, but we definitely felt very confident in winning those three, Mitrou-Long said.Quayson Williams had 15 for the Bulldogs, who were outscored in the paint 78-12.BIG PICTUREIowa State: The Cyclones looked a bit discombobulated at times offensively in a 73-55 win over Mount St. Marys on Monday. But The Citadels looser approach to defense allowed Iowa State to regain its rhythm in record-setting fashion. Seven different Cyclones had an assist in the first half, and Thomas drilled his first four 3s in a game that was never in doubt for a Top 25 team. I thought this was our most complete game on both ends of the floor, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.The Citadel: The Bulldogs ran into a team that plays like they do -- as fast as possible -- but has more talent. The Citadel was picked to finish last in the Southern Conference for a reason.POLL IMPLICATIONSIowa State might get a boost simply by taking care of the teams it was supposed to take care of. The real tests will start to come next week, with possible opponents such as Miami, Stanford and Gonzaga.THE NUMBERSIowa State out-rebounded the Bulldogs 63-33 and had 31 assists on 52 baskets. ...Eight different Cyclones scored in double digits.

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. The thing about the Washington Nationals is they didnt need that much help.Without question, 2015 was a disaster of a season, after many projected last years Nationals to be like this years Cubs. The clubhouse at some point became toxic, and that seemingly played a role in the Nationals falling short in their pursuit of a few of their offseason targets.But as much as the Nationals needed a culture change, that was almost as easy as saying goodbye to manager Matt Williams. And a year ago, the Nationals finished with basically the same run differential as the New York Mets. The Nationals remained a talented ballclub, and Bryce Harper makes for a heck of a starting point.So to make it clear: The first-place Nationals didnt come out of nowhere. They were supposed to challenge the Mets for the National League East title. That being said, the Nationals division llead is up to six games.dddddddddddd They have the second-best run differential in baseball, and theyre on a 97-win pace. The club is playing extraordinarily well, and Harper hasnt even been Harper; as good as he has been, hes off last years pace. Looking at the Nationals record, you wouldnt know it.To some extent, you have to give credit to new manager Dusty Baker, who has long been one of the games most effective unifiers. And when a team is succeeding, there tend to be dozens of different supporting factors. This years Nationals have been healthier. The pitching has been a little better. Yet on the offensive side, three big surprises stand apart. Two holdovers and one free agent have given the Nationals the boost they needed. ' ' '
